Main description:

Ion-Exchange Chromatography and Related Techniques defines the current state-of-the-art in ion-exchange chromatography and related techniques and their implementation in laboratory and industrial practice.

This book provides a compact, relevant, and up to date source of information to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience acquired by separation science specialists to colleagues from diverse backgrounds who need to acquire fundamental and practical information to facilitate progress in research and management functions reliant on information acquired by separation.

Individual chapters written by recognized experts lending credibility to the work, will allow this book to serve as a high value reference source of current information for analytical and biopharmaceutical chemists.
